Grants Pass TV Repair | 13 Television Antennas Tested on the UHF band, @GrantsPassTVRepair | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago

In this video I tested 13 different TV Antennas to see how their signal strength compared on the UHF band, and I made a chart for easy comparison to help people decide which antenna might be ideal for their location.
Since I was not able to receive a VHF signals at this location I tested the Antop Big Boy and the omni directional antenna in a different location to see how they performed on the VHF band in comparison to my Channel Master Advantage 45 and they were no match due to their size. Nevertheless I'm sure there are location where the Antop antennas would be just fine.
I had some additional thoughts about omni Vs directional antennas which I want to mention here. An omnidirectional antenna may be ideal in many locations, but the downside to using an omnidirectional antenna is its signal gain will be less than a directional antenna, so even though you may have transmitters all around you, it may still be to your advantage to use a directional antenna, but It's really a trial and error experiment to see what works.
Here is a list of the TV antennas I tested from left to right.
#1 is the Antop AT-133B indoor antenna.
#2 My simple homemade loop antenna.
#3 is the Antop AT-415B Omni directional antenna .
#4 is the Big Boy"AT-400BV Antop Indoor outdoor antenna.
#5 is a Stellar Labs Bow Tie antenna.
#6 is a clear stream 2 from Antennas Direct.
#7 is a RCA ANT705E..
#8 is the Winegard Free Vision. Part #FV-30BB
#9 is an RCA ANT752Z.
#10 is a Clear Stream 4 from Antennas Direct.
#11 is a Channel Master Advantage 45. Part # CM3016
#12 is a GE is a 29884 Attic Mount Antenna
#13 is a Winegard HD7694P
